Just felt like sharing some things I did while in a strange, not completely manic cos the meds were dampening it, but still in an elevated place kinda way last week.

I tend to either get really creative, or really self-destructive and angry/irritable/paranoid when I'm manic so this is a new and interesting swing for me.

So, some of the things I did, all with a smile on my face, and a song in my heart

1. Unfriended everyone on Facebook whose house I hadn't been to, in case they were a spy. (This has been awkward when wanting to catch up with people).
2. Sold a bunch of things online for cash to buy boots that I'd already saved for and purchased. (I'm now in the process of replacing some of these things)
3. Dyed my eyebrows black. (I'm fair)
4. Bought 3 rubbish sacks, filled them with my summer clothes and binned them (we're in winter here - but I'm pretty sure it'll be summer again at some stage!)
5. Scratched the side of my car with my key to see what it felt like. (It's not fancy, but it's not a bomb either)

Not really too concerned at this point, baffled more than anything but will be catching up with my Pdoc over dosage soon...

Does anyone else get up to things like this that rather than being bad or upsetting, are just really weird and out of character? If so, what sort of things?

Lol. I love the spy one. I don't have BPD, but I was curious and thought I'd check this out. I've done all sorts of random things likely due to my anxiety, OCD, and ... I think I had an issue with impulse, when I was a kid.

One time I got this overwhelming urge to swipe a cup off my desk into the wall; I imagined it, got this urge like adrenaline, and for some obscure reason, I actually did it. ¬_¬ Have a few times like that in my childhood; I can only assume it was impulse issues.

This is totally unrelated, but in the spirit of humor, I'll share: when I was a toddler, I flushed a load of my dad's eggs down the toilet! My dad's been telling that story for years. Hah.

I've removed people from Facebook and other places, out of a brief paranoidy kind of moment, those of whom I felt didn't care about me, or weren't interested in even communicating with me, or even those I felt I suddenly couldn't trust to see stuff on my Facebook; I get like that everyone once in a while. (been ages since that has happened, I think, thankfully)

Hope you don't mind my chiming in!

Take care.

1. I got out of car, tried to attack two smarta**es in another car
2. Bought 14 pairs of high heel shoes (I work in the oilpatch so I only wear safety boots)
3. Bought a bunch of skirts to go with the heels, so that I can wear them at work (again, work in the patch...)
4. Dyed my hair black (I am vey blonde)

The day my sister died, I dug a garden with my bare hands. Then I painted the bathroom with blue paint but ran out so just swiped the brush upwards to create an ocean "wave" & painted my bedroom with huge suns & circles of blue. I hate seeing it now, reminds me of going crazy. My husband (who has a "normal" brain) thinks it's very creative so he won't help me paint over all that

I once painted my entire apartment blue, green, purple and red. People said it looked like Crayola threw up on it. I recently dyed my hair bright pink. I once caused an accident because a guy wouldn't let me merge... That last one was before meds though. I painted random objects with nail polish. Baked cookies at 3am... I'll have to add more later... I'm tired.
